In this explosive Season 1 finale of Studio Visit, the tables turn as co-host Dr. Omar Kholeif steps into the hot seat, becoming the ultimate subject of enquiry. Moving through spaces of intense vulnerability, displacement, and institutional critique, Kholeif lays bare the raw mechanics of an artistic life—from the painful labor of world-making and the constant shift and drift of identity. The haunting nostalgia of Mariah Carey ballads and dreaming through the artist's own voice surround us. Recorded live across their London studios, the street, and public transit, this raw, unfiltered dialogue unpicks the boundary between artist, curator and creator, asking what it truly means to survive the world of art when a presence alone might just become a revolutionary act unto itself.

In this summer special, artist and creative producer, Levin Haegele takes us out of the studio to the Cornwall countryside on an aural exploration with the artist, Hannah Brown. Returning to sites that are cocooned both by memory and nature, this episode explores the relationship between the site of the studio and the exploratory spaces that artists often return to. A key focus for Brown, a painter whose art explores the psychology of the English landscape are the edgelands, the in-between spaces that the body experiences through ongoing encounter with place.

Sunil Gupta MBE (b. 1953) is an Indian-born, Canadian-artist who uses photography to explore themes of sexual identity, migration, race, and the imagined constitution of the family.

In this #StudioVisit special, co-hosts Levin Haegele and Omar Kholeif enter the home and studio of Gupta that he shares with his creative collaborator and companion, Charan Singh in South London. At the breakfast table, pulling open archival boxes, gazing at contact sheets, the duo delve into the mysteries of what works of art are exposed to the light, exploring the push and pull of history, memory and desire
